Cefn Corast Deserted Rural Settlement is a post-medieval domestic site in Breconshire, Wales, comprising rectangular hut structures typical of rural settlement patterns in the upland regions of South Wales. The site represents evidence of dispersed agricultural habitation from the early modern period onwards, reflecting the subsistence farming practices and settlement organization characteristic of Welsh moorland communities. The rectangular hut forms visible at the site are consistent with domestic structures of the post-medieval and modern periods, constructed to serve the needs of pastoral and mixed farming families in this upland environment.
